Opeth-ed, Saarang-ed

Hi,

I'd like to introduce you to two new words...

Opeth-ed (v)
The feeling one is overcome by when he/she suddenly, uncontrollably 'head-bangs*' and 'air-guitars**' while listening to the music of a Heavy Metal/Death Metal band, which he/she might not be very familiar with(i.e., has heard a lot of in the week/month preceding, but not much else before) and falls in love with thereafter.

eg: Chennai was Opeth-ed on 26th January 2009


Saarang-ed (v)
The feeling one is overcome with when he/she goes to a cultural festival expecting to have one hell of a lot of fun, but ends up having more than just that, which leaves the experience undergone by the person purely undefinable and open to the interpretation of the world's generalia.

eg: I was Saarang-ed.


*Headbanging is a type of dance which involves violently shaking the head in time with music, most commonly rock music and heavy metal music.

**Playing air guitar is a form of dance and movement in which the performer pretends to play rock or heavy metal-style electric guitar solos. Playing an air guitar usually consists of exaggerated strumming and picking motions and is often coupled with loud singing or lip-synching. Air guitar is generally used in the imaginary simulation of loud electric guitar music.
